Great introduction episode. Studio Arms managed to arrange some scenes here and there to give some sort of tension through the viewer's mind, I particularly liked that. It's a little slow-paced as we shall see bigger surprises coming in the future episodes. I really didn't expect the opening theme to have the same music as the PVs, it's a great twist for us. I like how they placed the important scene (If you know what I mean, manga readers) for last minute to give a big hook, we'll see how it goes but I don't have much problems with the show's first few episodes that will come soon.

I couldn't stop laughing when those kids fell off the dam wall. I know they're kids, and kids do dumb things, but all I could think of was how the heck did they even get there? And even if there was a way to get there, did they have no other choice but to shimmy across a pipe?

Anyway, I've got mixed feelings about the premiere. Its intriguing enough even though the show didn't reveal much about its premise but I can't help but feel that the show jumped a couple of hoops to get to that cliffhanger ending. I suppose I could notch that up to the somewhat wonky execution.

It seemed odd that Murakami just took her word for it or at least mulled over her prophetic advice seriously enough given that she was an oddball (I'm prolly nitpicking here).

I doubt the show used the flashback just to set up a red herring and cash in on it by the end. The moles could be easily removed by surgery and it appears that her memories have been erased as well. She could've pieced together her nickname from fragmented memories.

I think what stood out the most more than the twist itself was how the show didn't have a conventional opening; just music (with a hint of dubstep). It's been a while since I saw an anime show without an actual opening song.

I'm skeptical about the girl gettting sucked into the filter like that being possible, lol.

It's possible, but it'd basically have to shatter her knee/leg to do it, since it'd have to either suck it in so hard and far that it created a perfect air tight seal, or have suction strong enough to overcome two people (one of whom is a grown adult) pulling in the opposite direction.

Yeah, I'm fully expecting them to have either been moved/removed via surgery, or be further down her breasts now that she's developed.

They made it too strong of a point that he's in the 2nd year of high school (11th grade), Kuroneko "died" 10 years ago (1st grade), and this girl doesn't know something that everyone learns in 2nd grade.

I'm calling it now -- Kuroha is actually a deranged otaku who caused that rock slide to convince Murakami that her chuuni fantasies are real. Think about it, why else would she call herself Kuroneko, or go to school in NagiAsu cosplay? She's probably just pretending not to remember him because she thinks it's moe.
